Next Question

Which battle, earned Khalid bin Waleed, the title of "Sword of Allah"?

At the battle of Mauta. . .

Some people used to say that the reason why Khalid Bin Waleed did not get martyred in battle was because of the title Prophet Muhammad gave him i.e. 'Sword of Allah' - because the 'Sword of Allah' can never be broken. . . which is why he died a natural death.

Next question

Who said this ?

"By Allah if none can benefit on the sea except Allah then no doubt none can
benefit on land except Allah"

-------------Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/02/clip_filelist.xml - Allah tells us that when
harm befalls people, they call on Him, turning to Him and sincerely beseeching
Him. Hence Allah says:

file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/02/clip_filelist.xml - (And when harm touches you
upon the sea, those that you call upon vanish from you except Him.) meaning,
everything they worship besides Allah disappears from their hearts and minds.
Similar happened to `Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl when he fled from the Messenger of
Allah after the conquest of Makkah, and headed for Ethiopia. He set out across
the sea to go to Ethiopia, but a stormy wind arose. The people said to one
another: "None can save you except Allah Alone.'' `Ikrimah said to
himself, "By Allah if none can benefit on the sea except Allah then no
doubt none can benefit on land except Allah. `O Allah! I promise You that if
You bring me safely out of this, I will go and put my hand in the hand of Muhammad
and surely, I will find him full of pity, kindness and mercy.''' They came out
of it safely and were delivered from the sea. Then `Ikrimah went to the
Messenger of Allah , and declared his Islam, and he became a good Muslim, may
Allah be pleased with him.

file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/02/clip_filelist.xml - (But when He brings you
safe to land, you turn away.) means, you forget what you remembered of Divine
Oneness (Tawhid) when you were on the sea, and you turn away from calling on
Him Alone with no partner or associate.

file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/02/clip_filelist.xml - (68. Do you then feel
secure that He will not cause a side of the land to swallow you up, or that He
will not send against you a Hasib Then, you shall find no guardian.)

Am editing my answer - cz previous one was wrong - (i said that it was in response to Prophet Muhammad's supplications for Abu Talib's forgiveness after his death as a nonmuslim)

Anyway - I think the answer is, that this ayat is about the Hypocrites (Munafiqeen). When any of the Munafiqs would die, Prophet Muhammad would pray namaz-e-janaza for them and ask for thier forgiveness.

copy-pasted from site:

After this revelation, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) remarked, 'Were I to know that they would be forgiven if I had asked more than seventy times for their forgiveness, I would have done so,' Subsequently the following verse was revealed, 'It is equal to them whether you (Muhammad) ask forgiveness or ask not forgiveness for them. Verily, Allah guides not the people who are the Fasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).' [ (63): 6]

Subhanallah, our Prophet was worried about his ummah so much, he didnt even give up on the Munafiqeen!!!! - and these ppl made the Muslim's life hell and plotted against Islam!!! Prophet Muhammad:

-------------"O Lord, forgive me, my parents and Muslims in the Hereafter. O Lord, show mercy on them as they showed mercy to me when I was young."

As Salamu Alaikum

JazakiAllahu khayr sis Chrysallis. Here is the context of revelation

63 : 6. It is equal to them whether you ask forgiveness or ask not
forgiveness for them, Allah will never forgive them. Verily, Allah
guides not the people who are the rebellious

Qatadah and As-Suddi said, "This Ayah was revealed about `Abdullah bin Ubay. A young relative of his went to Allah's Messenger and conveyed to him an awful statement that `Abdullah said. The Messenger called `Abdullah, who swore by Allah that he did not say anything. The Ansar went to that boy and admonished him.

However, Allah sent down what you hear about `Abdullah's case and Allah's enemy was told, `Go to Allah's Messenger,' but he turned his head away, saying that he will not do it.''

Muhammad bin Ishaq said that Muhammad bin Yahya bin Hibban, `Abdullah bin Abi Bakr and `Asim bin `Umar bin Qatadah narrated to him the story of Bani Al-Mustaliq. They said that while the Messenger of Allah was in that area, Jahjah bin Sa`id Al-Ghifari, a hired hand for `Umar, and Sinan bin Wabr fought over the water source. Sinan called out, "O Ansar'', while Al-Jahjah called, "O Muhajirin!'' Zayd bin Arqam and several Ansar men were sitting with `Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul at that time. When `Abdullah heard what happened, he said, "They are bothering us in our land. By Allah, the parable of us and these foolish Quraysh men, is the parable that goes, `Feed your dog until it becomes strong, and it will eat you.By Allah, when we go back to Al-Madinah, the most mighty will expel the weak from it.'' He then addressed his people who were sitting with him, saying to them, "What have you done to yourselves You let them settle in your land and shared your wealth with them. By Allah, if you abandon them, they will have to move to another area other than yours.''

Zayd bin Arqam heard these words and conveyed them to Allah's Messenger . Zayd was a young boy then. `Umar bin Al-Khattab was with the Messenger and he said, "O Allah's Messenger! Order `Abbad bin Bishr to cut off his head at his neck.''

The Prophet replied,What if people started saying that Muhammad kills his companions, O `Umar No. However, order the people to start the journey (back to Al-Madinah). When `Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul was told that his statement reached Allah's Prophet , he went to him and denied saying it. He swore by Allah that he did not utter the statement that Zayd bin Arqam conveyed.

Abdullah bin Ubay was a chief of his people and they said, "O Allah's Messenger! May be the young boy merely guessed and did not hear what was said correctly.'' Allah's Messenger started the journey at an unusual hour of the day and was met by Usayd bin Al-Hudayr, who greeted him acknowledging his prophethood. Usayd said, "By Allah! You are about to begin the journey at an unusual time.''

The Prophet said,"Did not the statement of your friend, Ibn Ubay reach you He claimed that when he returns to Al-Madinah, the mighty one will expel the weak one out of it. Usayd said, "Indeed, you are the mighty one, O Allah's Messenger, and he is the disgraced one.'' Usayd said, "Take it easy with him, O Allah's Messenger! By Allah, when Allah brought you to us, we were about to gather the pearls (of a crown) so that we appoint him king over us. He thinks that you have rid him of his kingship.'' The Messenger of Allah traveled with the people until the night fell, then the rest of the night until the beginning of the next day and then set camp with the people. He wanted to busy them from talking about what had happened. The minute people felt the ground under their feet, they went to sleep and Surat Al-Munafiqin was revealed.

Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi recorded that Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "We were in a battle with Allah's Messenger and a man from the Emigrants kicked an Ansari man. The Ansari man called out, `O Ansar!' and the Emigrant called out, `O Emigrants!' Allah's Messenger heard that and said,

"What is this call of Jahiliyyah Abandon it because it is offensive." `Abdullah bin Ubay heard that and said, `Have they (the Emigrants) done so By Allah, if we return to Al-Madinah, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner.' The Ansar at that time, were more numerous that the Emigrants when the Messenger of Allah came to Al-Madinah, but later on the Emigrants imcreased in number. When this statement reached the Prophet , `Umar got up and said, `O Allah's Messenger! Let me chop off the head of this hypocrite!' The Prophet said: Leave him, lest the people say that Muhammad kills his companions.'' Imam Ahmad, Al-Bukhari and Muslim collected this Hadith

Ikrimah and Ibn Zayd and others said that when the Prophet and his Companions went back to Al-Madinah,`Abdullah, the son of `Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul, remained by the gate of Al-Madinah holding his sword. People passed by him as they returned to Al-Madinah, and then his father came. `Abdullah, son of `Abdullah, said to his father, "Stay where you are,'' and his father asked what the matter was His son said, "By Allah! You will enter through here until the Messenger of Allah allows you to do so, for he is the honorable one and you are the disgraced.''

When the Messenger of Allah came by, and he used to be in the last lines, `Abdullah bin Ubay complained to him about his son and his son said, "By Allah, O Allah's Messenger! He will not enter it until you say so.'' The Messenger gave his permission to `Abdullah bin Ubay and his son said, "Enter, now that the Messenger of Allah gave you his permission.'' In his Musnad, Abu Bakr `Abdullah bin Az-Zubayr Al-Humaydi recorded from Abu Harun Al-Madani that `Abdullah, the son of `Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul, said to his father, "You will never enter Al-Madinah unless and until you say, `Allah's Messenger is the honorable one and I am the disgraced.'' When the Prophet came, `Abdullah, son of `Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul said to him, "O Allah's Messenger! I was told that you have decided to have my father executed. By He Who has sent you with Truth, I never looked straight to his face out of respect for him. But if you wish, I will bring you his head, because I would hate to see the killer of my father.''

Next question :

What was the context of revelation of the very first ayah of chapter Al-Mumtahinah?

Br.Duane, jazakAllah for the sharing of Tafsir ibn Kathir, i shared that link with a member. Keep sharing any article of Islam as well, who knows Allah swt may bestow guidance to anyone thru them. Never be hesitant to earn rewards.

-------------Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

(1. O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as protecting
friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has
come to you of the truth, and have driven out the Messenger and yourselves
because you believe in Allah, your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My
cause and to seek My good pleasure. You show friendship to them in secret, while
I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you
(Muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone (far) astray from the straight
path.) (2. Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as
enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil,
and they desire that you should disbelieve.) (3. Neither your relatives nor your
children will benefit you on the Day of Resurrection. He will judge between you.
And Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.)

The story of Hatib bin Abi Balta`ah is the reason behind revealing the
beginning of this honorable Surah. Hatib was among the Early Emigrants and
participated in the battle of Badr. Hatib had children and wealth in Makkah, but
he was not from the tribe of Quraysh. Rather, he was an ally of `Uthman. When
the Messenger of Allah decided to conquer Makkah, after its people broke the
peace treaty between them, he ordered the Muslims to mobilize their forces to
attack Makkah, and then said,

«اللْهُمَّ عَمِّ
عَلَيْهِمْ خَبَرَنَا»

(O Allah! Keep our news concealed from them.) Hatib wrote a letter and sent
it to the people of Makkah, with a woman from the tribe of Quraysh, informing
them of the Messenger's intent to attack them. He wanted them to be indebted to
him ﴿so that they would grant safety to his family in Makkah﴾. Allah the Exalted
conveyed this matter to His Messenger , because He accepted the Prophet's
invocation ﴿to Him to conceal the news of the attack﴾. The Prophet sent someone
after the woman and retrieved the letter. This story is collected in the Two
Sahihs. Imam Ahmad recorded that Hasan bin Muhammad bin `Ali said that `Abdullah
bin Abu Rafi` -- or Ubaydullah bin Abu Rafi` -- said that he heard `Ali say,
"Allah's Messenger sent me, Zubayr and Al-Miqdad saying,

(Proceed until you reach Rawdat Khakh, where there is a lady carrying a
letter. Take that letter from her.) So we proceeded on our way, with our horses
galloping, until we reached the Rawdah. There we found the lady and said to her,
`Take out the letter.' She said, `I am not carrying a letter.' We said, `Take
out the letter, or else we will take off your clothes.' So she took it out of
her braid, and we brought the letter to Allah's Messenger . The letter was
addressed from Hatib bin Abu Balta`ah to some pagans of Makkah, telling them
about what Allah's Messenger intended to do. Allah's Messenger said,

«يَا حَاطِبُ، مَا
هَذَا؟»

(O Hatib! What is this) Hatib replied, `O Allah's Messenger! Do not make a
hasty decision about me. I was a person not belonging to Quraysh, but I was an
ally to them. All the Emigrants who were with you have kinsmen (in Makkah) who
can protect their families. So I wanted to do them a favor, so they might
protect my relatives, as I have no blood relation with them. I did not do this
out of disbelief or to renegade from my religion, nor did I do it to choose
disbelief after Islam.' Allah's Messenger said to his Companions,

«إِنَّهُ
صَدَقَكُم»

(Regarding him, he has told you the truth.) `Umar said, `O Allah's Messenger!
Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite!' The Prophet said,

(He attended Badr. What can I tell you, perhaps Allah looked at those who
attended Badr and said, "O the people of Badr, do what you like, for I have
forgiven you.'')'' The Group with the exception of Ibn Majah, collected this
Hadith using various chains of narration that included Sufyan bin `Uyaynah.
Al-Bukhari added in his narration in the chapter on the Prophet's battles, "Then
Allah revealed the Surah,

(O you who believe! Take not my enemies and your enemies as protecting
friends'...) was revealed about Hatib, but I do not know if the Ayah was
mentioned in the Hadith (or was added as an explanation by one of the
narrators).'' Al-Bukhari also said that `Ali bin Al-Madini said that Sufyan bin
`Uyaynah was asked, "Is this why this Ayah,

﴿لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ
عَدُوِّى وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ﴾

(O you who believe! Take not my enemies and your enemies as protecting
friends.) was revealed'' Sufyan said, "This is the narration that I collected
from `Amr, I did not leave a letter out of it. I do not know if anyone else
memorized the same words for it.''

My apologies for being very late to respond. I was n't active at IC.

I had seen you answering soon, so was that question, brother

We will read this hadith for the answer. Its intresting

The story of the hairdresser of the daughter of Pharaoh is narrated as follows:

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “On the night on which I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), a beautiful fragrance came to me. I said: O Jibreel, what is this beautiful fragrance?

He said: This is the fragrance of the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter and her children. I said: What is their story?

He said: Whilst she was combing the hair of Pharaoh’s daughter one day, the iron comb fell from her hand and she said, ‘Bismillaah (in the name of Allaah).’

The daughter of Pharaoh said: ‘My father?’

She said: ‘No. My Lord and the Lord of your father is Allaah.’

She said: ‘I will tell him about that.’

She said: ‘Yes.’ So she told him and he summoned her and said: ‘O So and so, do you have a Lord other than me?’

She said: ‘Yes, my Lord and your Lord is Allaah.’

He ordered that a baqarah (lit. “cow”) made of copper be heated up, then he ordered that she and her children be thrown into it.

She said: ‘I have a request to make of you.’

He said: ‘What is your request?’ She said: ‘I would like my bones and my children’s bones to be gathered together in one cloth and buried.’

He said: ‘This will be done for you.’

He ordered that her children be thrown into it in front of her, one by one, until they came to the last one who was an infant boy who was still being breastfed.

It was as if she wavered because of him, but he said: ‘O mother, go ahead, for the punishment of this world is easier to bear than the punishment of the hereafter.’

Narrated Abû Huraira : The Prophet (saaws) said, "None spoke in the cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second child was): There was a man from Banî Israel called Juraij. While he was offering prayer, his mother came and called him. He said (to himself), "Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying and did not answer her).

His mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes." So while he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her, and then later she gave brith to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed ablution and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said: "O child! Who is your father?" The child replied, "The shepherd" (after hearing this) the people said, "We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold," but he said: "No, of nothing but mud."

(The third was the hero of the following story): A lady from Banî Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, "O Allah! Make my child like him." on that the child left her breast and, facing the rider said: "O Allah! Do not make me like him." The child then started to suck her breast again. [(Abû Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at the Prophet sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.")]. After a while they (some people) passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, "O Allah! Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!" On that the child left her breast, and said, "O Allah! Make me like her." When she asked why, the child replied, "The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse."

http://abdurrahmanorg.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/the-story-of-the-boy-and-the-king-from-surah-burooj/ - Surah Burooj: Boy and King Story: Then the king said, "Whoever abandons his religion, let him go, and whoever does not, throw him into the fire.” They were struggling and scuffling in the fire, until a woman and her baby whom she was breast feeding came and it was as if she was being somewhat hesitant of falling into the fire, so her baby said to her,"Be patient mother! For verily, you are following the truth!”)

Umar ibn al-Khattab

Umar, who dismissed Khalid from all military and services later regretted for what he did to Khalid. It is said that after the Hajj of 642, Umar had decided to re-appoint Khalid to the military services. But fate had decided otherwise, when he reached Medina, news of Khalid's death reached him.

I was bit excited to see our sister Fear Allah. She was one the regular member to this thread. She mostly answered all of the questions correctly. I do know her personally {thru our online chat at our ids} , and i see her alhamdullilah, very hardworking and sincere in her work. Allah knows the best, but i hold that opinion of her.

Anyways, back to our discussion, when i posted this question, i had Zainab bint Khuzaimah as my answer. Now, when i went thru search i found that there are different reports about her and its less authentic that she was a widow of the martyr in Badr. Here are those two reports

Hafsah bint ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab: She was Aiyim (i.e. husbandless). Her ex-husband was Khunais bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi in the period between Badr and Uhud battles. The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] married her in the third year of Al-Hijra.

Zainab bint Khuzaimah: She was from Bani Hilal bin ‘Amir bin Sa‘sa‘a. Was nicknamed Umm Al-Masakeen, because of her kindness and care towards them. She used to be the wife of ‘Abdullah bin Jahsh, who was martyred at Uhud, was married to the Prophet [pbuh] in the fourth year of Al-Hijra, but she died two or three months after her marriage to the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh].http://www.quraan.com/index.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=11&bid=7&cid=41 - http://www.quraan.com/index.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=11&bid=7&cid=41

According to another report, she was first married to Tufail ibnul al Harith and when divorced by him was remarried to his brother Ubaidah ibnul Harith, who was killed in Badr. The Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) married her in Ramadan, 3 A.H. She lived with the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) for eight months only, as she died in Rabi-ul-Akhir, 4 A.H.

Allah swt knows the best.

I don't have an other question for now. Insha Allah, shall post them tomorrow.

The Prophet said, "(There are) three (types of persons to whom) Allah will neither speak to them on the Day of Resurrections, nor look at them (They are):--(1) a man who takes a false oath that he has been offered for a commodity a price greater than what he has actually been offered; (2) and a man who takes a false oath after the 'Asr (prayer) in order to grab the property of a Muslim through it; (3) and a man who forbids others to use the remaining superfluous water.

Allah swt revealed that, " Lawful to you is water game and its use for food -- for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel, but forbidden is (the pursuit of) land game as long as you are in a state of Ihram. And have Taqwa of Allah to Whom you shall be gathered back"

Why is that it is unlawful in state of Ihram to hunt over land while its permissible in water ?

Its forbidden, in state of Ihram to hunt,b.cos they can get other food {like fruits, bread etc instead of hunting an animal for food}, when their food is over. While those travelling thru water-ways, are left with no option, once their food is exhausted. So water-game is lawful.

As Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuuh,

JazakAllahu khayr. But the answer i know is, it was Mus'ab ibn Umayr .

At the battle of Uhud the Prophet (peace be upon him) called upon him to carry the Muslim standard (flag). The battle started and at first the Muslims seemed to have the upper hand however, a groups of Muslims disobeyed the order of the Prophet and left their places and this gave the enemy the chance to counter-attack and win the battle. The enemy forces wanted to kill the Prophet (peace be upon him). Mus`ab understood the danger the Prophet was in so with the flag in one hand and his sword in the other he plunged into the ranks of the enemy. Even when Mus`ab was being struck with enemy swords and his life seemed certain to be over, the words he spoke were those of concern for the Prophet (peace be upon him). He said, half to himself, ‘Muhammad is only a Messenger. Messengers have passed away before him.” He was reminding himself that his struggle was not just for the Prophet but for the message of Allah to the world. First one hand was severed, so he held the flag with the other, then the other hand was severed and he determinedly held the flag with the stumps of both arms then finally he was struck by a spear and died. The words he repeated every time he was struck were later revealed to the Prophet and completed, and became part of the Qur’an. - SubhanAllah !! Allahu Akbar !!!

Angels also came to Ibraaheem in human form, and he did not know that they were angels until they told him so. Similarly, angels came to Lut in the form of young men with beautiful faces. Jibreel used to come to the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) in different forms: sometimes he would appear in the form of Dihyah al-Kalbi, a Sahaabee who was very handsome, and sometimes in the form of a Bedouin.

Following hadiths are from Sahih Bukhari

Narrated Abu 'Uthman:

I was informed that Gabriel came to the Prophet while Um Salama was with him. Gabriel started talking (to the Prophet). Then the Prophet asked Um Salama, "Who is this?" She replied, "He is Dihya (al-Kalbi)." When Gabriel had left, Um Salama said, "By Allah, I did not take him for anybody other than him (i.e. Dihya) till I heard the sermon of the Prophet wherein he informed about the news of Gabriel." The subnarrator asked Abu 'Uthman: From whom have you heard that? Abu 'Uthman said: From Usama bin Zaid.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 827:

Narrated Abu Uthman:

I got the news that Gabriel came to the Prophet while Um Salama was present. Gabriel started talking (to the Prophet and then left. The Prophet said to Um Salama, "(Do you know) who it was?" (or a similar question). She said, "It was Dihya (a handsome person amongst the companions of the Prophet )." Later on Um Salama said, "By Allah! I thought he was none but Dihya, till I heard the Prophet talking about Gabriel in his sermon." (The Sub-narrator asked Abu 'Uthman, "From where have you heard this narration?" He replied, "From Usama bin Zaid.")

To the best of my knowledge this promise of 3000 Angles is for battlr badr as well.The promise of 3000 Angles was probably made due to the reports recived by muslims that Kurz Ibn Jabir Muharibi was marching towards the battle field of badr with his tribul force in the support of the disblievers of Makkah.

Wa'laikum Salam wa Rahmatullah,

JazakAllahu khayr brother Duane. Shall add my notes.

As Br. Usmani said that the ayah i quoted in the question refers to Battle of Badr. But its used here while the battle of Uhud is explained in the context. Following are the ayahs.

124. (Remember) when you said to the believers, "Is it not enough for you that your Lord should help you with three thousand angels sent down''

125. "But, if you hold on to patience and have Taqwa, and the enemy comes rushing at you; your Lord will help you with five thousand angels having marks (of distinction).''

When we notice the ayah 125 - "But if you hold on patience and have Taqwa". This is the condition Allah swt laid.

During the battle of Badr, the number of angels sent by Allah swt for help gradually increased. As for Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, he said, "Allah supported the Muslims with one thousand (angels), then the number reached three thousand, then five thousand.'Why did this number increase ? Because the taqwa and patiece of the muslims increased. But during the battle of Uhud, we were winning. We almost won the battle, the taqwa and patience declined, when we were attacked again. And so did Allah swt did not send angels for help.

The lesson we learn from this is, during our times of calamities or hardships, we are to retain the taqwa and patience. Allah swt's help shall surely come to us. But when we loose patience and trust, then we may not receive any such help.

Another cause is we did not follow the sunnah. The command of Prophet,{to stand at the hillside}. How many times inour lives, we disobey Prophet !!!

Another cause that comes to my mind, is the love of weALTH, or we can also state it as attraction towards dunya /worldly affairs --.

I wish, any of our members, hold mre explanation or any correction, kindly share it here and correct us.

May Allah swt help to follow what we learn and share here. Ameen

They said, "Nobody can speak (in favor of the lady) to Allah's Apostle and nobody dares do that except Usama who is the favorite of Allah's Apostle. " When Usama spoke to Allah's Apostle about that matter, Allah's Apostle said, "Do you intercede (with me) to violate one of the legal punishment of Allah?" Then he got up and addressed the people, saying..

"O people! The nations before you went astray because if a noble person committed theft, they used to leave him, but if a weak person among them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad committed theft, Muhammad will cut off her hand!"

As Salamu Alaikum,

Yes brother, thats the answer. JazakAllah, Here i would paste it in bit detail

There is an unforgettable story involving Abdullah ibn Jahsh and his friend Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas concerning an incident that took place during the Battle of Uhud. Let us leave Sa'd to tell the story:

During the battle, Abdullah came to me and said, "Aren't you making a dua to God?"

"Yes," said I. So we moved aside and I prayed, "O Lord, when I meet the enemy, let me meet a man of enormous strength and fury. Then grant me victory over him that I might kill him and acquire spoils from him."

To this my prayer, Abdullah said Ameen and then he prayed:

"LET ME MEET A MAN OF GREAT STANDING AND ENORMOUS FURY. I SHALL FIGHT HIM FOR YOUR SAKE, O LORD, AND HE SHALL FIGHT ME. HE SHALL TAKE ME AND CUT OFF MY NOSE AND EARS AND WHEN I MEET YOU ON THE MORROW YOU WILL SAY, "FOR WHAT WERE YOUR NOSE AND EAR CUT OFF?" AND I WOULD REPLY, "FOR YOUR SAKE AND FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR PROPHET." {SubhanAllah !}

AND THEN YOU WOULD SAY, "YOU HAVE SPOKEN THE TRUTH . . ."

Sa'd continues the story:

The prayer of Abdullah ibn Jahsh was better than mine. I saw him at the end of the day. He was killed and mutilated and in fact his nose and his ear were hung on a tree with a thread.

“The area between my house and my minbar is one of the gardens (riyaad, sing. rawdah) of Paradise, and my minbar is on my cistern (hawd)” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1196; Muslim, 1391.

And it was narrated that Yazeed ibn Abi ‘Ubayd said:

“I used to come with Salamah ibn al-Akwa’ and he would pray by the pillar which was by the mus-haf, i.e. in the Rawdah. I said, ‘O Abu Muslim, I see that you are keen to pray by this pillar!’ He said, ‘I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was keen to pray here.’” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 502; Muslim, 509.

Being keen to pray in al-Rawdah does not justify being aggressive towards people or pushing the weak aside, or stepping over their necks.

Wa'alaikum salaam wa Rahmatullah,

I "think" the answer is Prophet Muhammad (saw). . . he was the first "Amir ul Hajj" in history of Islam . . .

Sorry, been away for some time. Hopefully inshAllah will be more regular now that am free.

-------------"O Lord, forgive me, my parents and Muslims in the Hereafter. O Lord, show mercy on them as they showed mercy to me when I was young."

The first Amir-ul-Haj. In 631 C.E., the Holy Prophet sent from Madina a delegation of three hundred Muslims to perform the Haj according to the new Islamic way. Abu Bakr was appointed as the leader of the delegates. Abu Bakr had thus the honor of being the first Amir-ul-Haj in the history of Islam.

Ali. Some time after Abu Bakr and his party had left for the Haj, the Holy Prophet received revelation about the regulation of the Haj, and the ordering of relationship with the infidels. It is related that when the revelation came, some one suggested to the Holy Prophet that he should send news of it to Abu Bakr. The Holy Prophet said that a man of his own house was to proclaim the revelation. The Holy Prophet summoned Ali, and commissioned him to proclaim the revealed verses to the people on the day of sacrifice when they were assembled at Mina. Ali went forth on the Holy Prophet's slit-eared camel, and overtook Abu Bakr and his party. When Ali joined the party, Abu Bakr wanted to know whether he had come to give orders or to convey them. Ali said that he had not come to replace Abu Bakr as Amir-ul-Haj, and that his only mission was to convey a special message to the people on behalf of the Holy Prophet.

The proclamation. At Makkah, Abu Bakr presided at the Haj ceremony, and Ali read the proclamation on behalf of the Holy Prophet. The main points of the proclamation were:

Henceforward the non-Muslims were not to be allowed to visit the Ka'aba or perform the pilgrimage.

No one was to be allowed to circumambulate the Ka'aba naked.

Polytheism was not to be tolerated. Where the Muslims had any agreements with the polytheists such agreements were to be honored for the stipulated periods. Where there were no agreements, a grace period of four months was to be given, and thereafter no quarter was to be given to the polytheists.

It is prescribed for the one who wants to offer a sacrifice, when the month of Dhu’l-Hijjah begins, that he should not remove anything from his hair, nails or skin until he has offered the sacrifice, because of the report narrated by the group apart from al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on them), from Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When you see the new moon of Dhu’l-Hijjah, and one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, let him refrain from (removing anything) from his hair or nails.” According to a version narrated by Abu Dawood, Muslim and al-Nasaa’i: “Whoever has a sacrifice to offer, when the new moon of Dhu’l-Hijjah begins, let him not remove anything from his hair or nails until he has offered the sacrifice” – whether he is going to slaughter the sacrifice himself or has asked someone else to slaughter it on his behalf.

(Islam qa)

By the way, Friday is the first day of Dhul Hijjah....

The person intend to do sacrifice in this month do more and more sacrifice of animals(Qurbani).

There are three Mustahibs and two wajibs in this month and more are in the first ten days of Zilhaja.

Mustahibs-

1) Do not cut your nails and hairs since the moon appear till you sacrifice the animal.

2)Do fasting in the first nine days.The reward of one day fasting is equal to one year fasing and the reward of 9th Zilhaja is equal to two years fasting.All together it is become ten years reward.

3) Do nafl ebadah at all nights of first ten days.Atleast perfomed the esha and fagr prayers with Jamah.The reward of one night is equal to the reward of Lailatul Qadr.

Wajibs-

1) Recite Talbiya once after every fard prayer from 8th to 14th Zilhaja.(Pls. correct the dates if they are wrong)

2) Performed Qurbani if it is wajib.

May Allah give all of us the taufiq to cash in this great rewards which is coming so easily.
